The English qualifications agency's former head, who quit over last year's Sats fiasco, has described ministers' version of what happened as "fiction".

Ken Boston claimed ministers had incorrectly portrayed him as complacent about marking failures that affected thousands of children.

He spoke to the Education and Skills Select Committee about "two major flaws" in ministers' evidence.
